Neftekhimik defenseman Artyom Serikov speaks with the media after a following 7–5 win over Shanghai Dragons.
– The game was not great, but we were lucky to win. There were a lot of mistakes on both sides. Basically, we scored more than three and won, that is good.
– What emotions did you feel after the second goal that we conceded? After all, the puck went into the net after it hit you...
– Of course, I was upset. But at halftime, thanks to my teammates, they supported me and encouraged me. I came on in the second period and immediately made an assist on my first shift, then I managed to score a goal, so I think I redeemed myself.
– Later, you scored a good goal...
– Thanks to my teammates for encouraging me to shoot.
– Why did the team took unnecessary penalties?
– When passions are running high, when emotions are running high, when no one wants to lose, these things happen.
– Did you hear the fans' support?
– Yes, they were really supportive today. Especially when the goals started coming in, when we started scoring. We will try to keep making them happy. And a big thank you to them for their support today!
